Seriously, I’d learn to drive in real life if I wanted that experience. The controls are decidedly old-fashioned, and the cars grip the road without swerving uncontrollably for players who don’t want to act like they’re driving a real car.
Saints Row 2 makes no such “innovation,” and as a result, its cars don’t handle like blobs of spunk on a rubber sheet covered in soapy water. This desire that developers have to be “realistic” all the time is helping to kill the fun factor of a lot of games nowadays, and one of the worst examples was Rockstar’s decision to remove the arcade feel of their vehicles. Why on Earth Rockstar decided to strive for “realism” is something I’ll never fathom. That’s not to say that the checkpoints are always well-implemented or sensible, but at least you don’t have to drive from the mission’s activation all the way to where the action is every time you die. Saints Row 2 makes this a thing of the past with in-mission checkpoints that help remove some aspects of a stage that would bore you to death upon repeated attempts. One thing that has always bugged me about Grand Theft Auto is that if you fail a mission or are killed/busted, you have to do the entire thing again, including the boring drive to wherever the meat of the mission is. Read on for ten reasons why Saints Row 2 is better than Grand Theft Auto IV … To back me up, I have ten solid facts that prove my righteousness and adequately display that Saints Row, a series that started out as a poor attempt to emulate Rockstar’s controversial franchise, has now surpassed it.
Of course, it would be wrong to make such a bold claim without venturing to justify it, even if those who would disagree should be strung up for going against the absolute truth. Don’t get me wrong - GTA IV is a great game and one that deserves many of the accolades that it has received, but it’s no Saints Row 2. This is actually an undeniable fact because a writer on the Internet has said it is so, thus it cannot ever be refuted. Saints Row 2 is better than Grand Theft Auto IV.
